Gee, That Torture Memo Stuff Just Won't Go Away, Will It?

Now a University of Berkeley law professor and now a federal judge respectively, John Yoo and Jay Bybee have figured that the past, where they wrote that torturing people was just fine as far as they were concerned, is behind them.

Yeah, ever since the Associate Deputy Attorney General, David Margolis overruled the finding of the Office of Professional Responsibility that Yoo and Bybee engaged in professional misconduct, the pair should be cruising down Easy Street. The Drunken Frat Boy administration ran out the clock.

But WTF? What's this? Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York is sending this stuff to the state bar associations where Bybee and Yoo are licensed for possible disciplinary action. "Hey, all that crap's been denied! Sonofa..."

In part, Nadler wrote in a statement:

"Setting aside the disagreement over what state ethics rules require, everyone agrees that the legal advice provided by attorneys Yoo and Bybee - advice that was used by the Bush administration to justify waterboarding - was seriously flawed and did not meet the Department of Justice's own standards of conduct. This should never have happened, and I will continue working to ensure that the appropriate corrective steps are taken so that it does not happen in the future."

Just won't go away, will it, guys? LOL
